Bridgeward: release notes

Each version, newest first.

0.1.0

The Bridgeward joins the gamers' household: the way to the game servers, measured.

What's new

  • Every 10 minutes it measures your connection to the regions where online games run their servers: the delay, how steady it is, and connections lost.
  • Grades each for fast online games, in plain words: good, playable, or rough, and why.
  • Watches the regions nearest you, from the time zone Windows is set to, without asking; pick others in Settings.
  • Checks your router too, and says when your home network (most often Wi-Fi) adds to the delay, and what would steady it.
  • Lists the rough patches of the last day, so a bad evening of play has a reason.

Before you update

  • Nothing: it starts measuring as soon as you hire it.

Installing

  • Castellan installs and updates it by itself. To install it by hand, unpack the zip anywhere and run node src\cli.ts install (Node 22.18 or later). SHA256SUMS.txt lists its SHA-256 (PowerShell: Get-FileHash).
